Sharing Mindsets and Missions

engage audiences with the relationship between climate change and land cover.

The project brings together 30 museums and science and discovery centres from across the UK with 15 creative practitioners, researchers and experts, combining both lived and learned experience to stimulate collaboration and peer learning.

CAT has been awarded a place on a new learning and grants programme that supports museums and science centres to engage underrepresented groups with knowledge, research and innovation.

Using the concept of ‘future citizens’, the Mindsets + Missions programme will explore strategies to reach new audiences and to enable people from diverse backgrounds to engage with, influence and participate in the creation of positive futures. CAT’s project will draw on our partnership with Aberystwyth University’s Living Wales project to

CAT’s Head of Learning, Amanda Smith said: “One of CAT’s core values is a belief in the transformative power of diversity, inclusion and equality. Only by actively engaging different perspectives can we challenge and stretch our thinking and empower people, policy makers and organisations to make the radical changes that we need to deliver a sustainable and regenerative future. We are excited to be working with this group of organisations and individuals to explore how we can better connect with underrepresented groups as we work together to address the climate and biodiversity emergency.”

Mindsets + Missions is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the Museums Association, The Liminal Space and the Association for Science and Discovery Centres.
